your account can be simply credited. However, there's a stringent
paper trail required for every account credited. Our team only
makes the request for gold on your behalf. With that said, there's
a ton of teams who participate in eSports that never win gold. If
your concern is that you're not credited within 24 hours, then I
think your eSports career is going to be okay!

Flyguysm, on Dec 11 2012 - 17:52, said: thats the rumor. The way things are ran in these things.. who
knows.
look, having ran tourneys and competition for 10 years, I know you have to have some flexibility. But to Bye the majoritity of teams on night one? thats just ridiculous. They should have done what they did in the vet challenge... grouped up teams, have them play, take top # to get their bracket slots.
Not sure what the issue is or why. Gibberish rule/requirements, borked dates, times, registration day errors, starting a tourney on monday night and more teams have a bye than play? Either do it right or get someone that can.

Unfortunately, in the meantime, advancing teams is not automated.

Keep in
mind that there is a precedent for 'Challenges' going back to the
Monte Cassino Challenge last January.
Challenges are single elimination tournaments. This may or may not
be your preferred tournament style. For this reason we have opened
up weekend scrimmages and are introducing deep, group play formats

up for it in a special battle menu? Or auto bye in?Captain_Judo: I realize that, with growth in our eSports community, we're
experiencing many teams and players participating in standard
events for the first time. So I'm happy to explain how Challenge
scheduling works.
Challenges, unlike skirmishes, allow an unlimited number of participating teams. Our Zhukov Challenge has over 300 participating teams. Challenges are single elimination tournaments. Therefore, we're unable to eliminate "byes" until the number of remaining teams is equal to 2^X (ie.. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256). Where x is some positive integer
.
After completing last night's opening round, we have successfully reduced the active teams to 256. We can now proceed with single elimination. Matches are played every other day. The off days are reserved for make-up matches when necessary.
I hope this helps. We see the need for further information made available to new members of our eSports community and we look forward to providing something useful soon!

Subject: Caption Contest #4 (Discussion Thread)
Link on message: #3227430
Link on message: #3227430
dance210: I could be wrong, but I think you are misunderstanding why the
judging of the caption contest was changed. Since Major_Rampage is
going through all the entries himself, it no longer matters if the
players only upvote posts on the first couple of pages or someone
gathers all his friends to vote on his behalf; those initial votes
mean nothing to the voting process.
Reading throuh, there are a lot of duplicate posts, either very similarly worded or along the same theme. How can you (in general, not you specifically) be sure that an earlier post was copied and not that someone didn't feel like reading through the 1.6K posts to ensure that his was unique? I would say the only way would be to have everyone email the captions - which would be too bad as I enjoy rearding through all the captions:)
The judging issues for this contest are the same as for all their other contests. When the players are allowed to vote, there are accusations that finalists convince friends and clanmates vote for them, making it unfair for those not in a clan. When WG chooses the finalists or the winners, there are accusations that they are biased or the winners should never have been choosen because of reason x, y, or z. Frankly, it's a no-win situation but this way allows the player community a chance to vote for their favorites.

Challenges, are not technically limited to a particular length of
time, but rather based on the number of teams that enter (which is
why there is no team limit).

Start2, on Dec 10 2012 - 22:19, said: What does WG consider "successful"?
Positive vibe in the chat? More people playing specific vehicles? Encouraging lower tier play with higher tier (normal play) players?
As I recall, the original Tech Tree Focus was 1/2 price tanks AND bonus credits (I maybe confusing some specials). However, do you have comparative numbers from those events? This Tech Tree Focus would encourage players to grind through a couple of tiers to get a higher tier tank cheaper and quicker that they would of originally.
This would encourage people to play a line they may not of considered before, or a country they were reluctant to start playing.
My son would wait for a sale before he would try a new line. He would then grind as far as he could in a couple of days, get advanced a few tiers and then wait out the tank line until it would go on sale again (or there was another special that he could take advantage of)
This is something you may not want to occur.
My advice .05
Your Current Events:
Operation: X a weekly bonus for X medal/awards= good program___ KEEPER.
New Tech Tree Focus: Weekly credit bonus for a tank line same name as old event = Good program/bad name should be called Tech Tree BONUS___ KEEPER program needs new name.
Any other specials and contests, normally weekends and sometimes monthly holiday focused.
(Events in limbo)
OLD Tech Tree Focus: bring back as original, up to tier 7, but only ONCE per month AND hold it for 2 weeks (or 10 days), but at least over the weekend. This could replace that weekends' special (so we only get 3, not 4 weekend specials). This would encourage the grind of a new line and increase usage of those tanks. It also would encourage a user to "buy back" a tank and take it for a spin, or to Elite, or to get a mastery badge etc when they might not of even tried without the special.
Vehicle Roll Out special. One tank with 2 weeks of credit bonuses. Just pick a tank you need to see (statistically speaking) more of in battle.
Kind of replaced by the new Tech Tree Focus/Bonus program.
MVP and All Star Contests: Replaced by Operation: X???
If so, will miss the gold rewards, but love the not taking screen shot and submitting. Automated rewards are better!!!
Does not certain TIERS get neglected? Maybe a program dedicated by TIER would be good to create.
As much as we complain, we also want to see you be successful ( and continue to grow). We can't wait till it is finally released as 1.0 and no longer 0.8.2.

Regarding the MVP / All Star contests, Operations are not intended to replace them.
